Throwback Sunday, both the Swans and the Hawks win.
The Hawthorn v Melbourne game was a cracker

Anyone who tells you they are going well in their tips this weekend is a fucking liar
Haha, I fluked it and got 8 out of 9. Only one I missed was the Hawks. Yes I did select the Roos. I thought the Crows were due a down week.
-
@ACT-Crusader lying bullshitting liar. The only way you picked 8 out of 9 was if you did it blindfolded. Especially if the one you missed was the Hawks. Fuck off you picked the Suns over the Cats. Or West Coast on the road. I will give you the Saints over GWS, only because i bet you picked with your heart.

@mariner4life @ACT-Crusader
Shame the Crows didn't play as youd bank them. I mean imagine if they were playing a team that had previously only had one win ...(I got 3/8)

There were a couple of 'heart' selections in there. I hate Geelong and Ablett is in freakish form, so picked the Suns. I never not pick the Saints....
Freo, yep. Bombers are rubbish and Freo has rediscovered something. The West Coast tip was more a mathematical law of averages type tip.
The Hawks are cabbage so I thought Melbourne who have had some close losses would lift for this one.
-
So yea, any chance a team could be consistent this season?
Wait, that's not fair, the Lions lose every week, you can pen that in.
-
The Tigers losing yesterday is probably the funniest thing to happen this season. Only Richmond...
Seriously, this season is fucked. The Crows have had two straight losses, but are still top, GWS are equal with them, but should have lost to Collingwood, and the Eagles can't buy a win in Melbourne, but are also there.
It would be a brave man who could confidently declare who is the best team in the comp right now.
Suddenly, Sydney and Hawthorn aren't that far behind...
Oh, and given the Suns' performance yesterday, why did they even take the senior team over? Eade spent all week whinging about the game, and it appears his attitude rubbed off on his "players". They were shit yesterday. Port went to China for a training session.
-
@mariner4life ...China ...
... yep I can see the game taking off in China
-
@booboo yea, really great move.
Best line i saw was "port Adelaide just wanted to be associated with something else other than fan violence, and racial slurs"
-
@mariner4life get on those Saints bro
-
@ACT-Crusader bet you weren't saying that early in the 4th on Saturday when Carlton were coming.
Of every team who aren't the Lions, i would be most happy to Nick Riewoldt win a flag, so yea, the Saints would be alright.

nah, never in doubt
Bluesers ran out of puff and Billings and co started to be ball magnets in that final 15 minutes.
I'm enjoying the comp so far this year. The talking heads on all the TV and radio shows seem a little baffled by it all, because they love talking up one or two teams (because it's easy), now they have to do some genuine analysis rather than Swans this or Hawks that they have done for years.
Loved the one journo that is based in Adelaide, a couple of weeks ago as parochial as ever saying about the Crows "it's hard to see where they will lose a game". The following two weeks they not only lose, but get outplayed quite easily.
Gotta love Tigers and Pies losing at the death like that
-
Anyone from Melbourne able to verify that the Saints boys were giving mark Murphy shit for his wife fucking Carey?
-
@mariner4life lots of rumours going around about what happened and that was one of them. The other being Murphy taunting Carlisle about the Bombers drugs saga.
-
@ACT-Crusader yep, i understand that's what started it all, the bombers and the columbian marching powder; the retort involves his wife, and shit hits the fan.
Mark Murphy's wife is really hot
-
I think it's pretty clear now that Carlisle taunting Murphy about this. Dumb stuff and pretty unnecessary. Not a fan of Carlisle. I don't mind a bit of 'trash talk' to try and put someone off their game, but this sort of attack that drags in another person where it's rumour and innuendo based, shouldn't be tolerated.
-
Agreed. Love a bit of on-field mouth, but there is definitely a line, and that is waaay beyond it.
Robbo on AFL360 is such a fucking piston wristed gibbon. Last night he was trying to paint as a watershed moment where things will change. Bullshit it will. It didn't last time it properly blew up (Will Minson both times wasn't it?) and it won't the next time either.
